Five people were killed, many arrested in an Israeli military operation in the West Bank, the Palestinian news agency reported

Five people were killed during an Israeli military attack on Nur al-Shams, a refugee camp in Tulkarm, north of the occupied West Bank, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the operation began Thursday night “to combat terrorism in Nur al-Shams; so far the team has eliminated several terrorists, arrested several wanted persons, searched buildings and found explosives.”

The operation appears to be one of the largest in the West Bank since October 7.

Video obtained by CNN showed continued gunfire Saturday morning, as well as Israeli forces moving toward the camp.

Wafa reported that one of those killed was a child, while the Palestinian Ministry of Health said the other was 16.

Wafa quoted witnesses as saying that Israeli forces held “the bodies of the victims and prevented ambulance crews from reaching them.” CNN has reached out to the IDF for comment on the operation, including this claim.

Wafa reported that the army, after launching an attack on Thursday night, surrounded Nur al-Shams, “placed military vehicles on all axes leading to the camp and closed the main road amid reconnaissance aircraft flights in the area.”

Bulldozers destroyed water and wastewater networks and cut off electricity, according to Wafa, while “dozens of youths” were arrested.

The IDF said that its forces “eliminated several terrorists, arrested several wanted persons, uncovered explosives and axes and searched buildings.”

Video obtained by CNN shows several young men being bundled into an Israeli military vehicle.
